about

Valentine's Day can be viewed from many angles. On one hand, it's a celebration of one of the most profound things human beings can experience. On the other, it's an insatiable marketing monster vomiting out counterfeit expectations and hideous pink teddy bears.

To contrast the candy-coated artifice, I wanted to create something honest. So, I wrote a song straight from experience. It's my gift to you.

lyrics

be sweet to me
not saccarhin
not cheap
just be sweet to me
diamonds and pearls
aren't what I need

i don't need fur coats and fancy wine
i don't need the perfect valentine
i don't need the polish or the shine
i don't need a thing

just be sweet to me
not careful
not too neat
just be sweet to me
just be yourself
it's easy

i don't need fireworks all of the time
i don't need a ring for piece of mind
i don't need you always to be mine
i don't need a thing

just be sweet to me
just be sweet to me
